Not yet, Geoffrey, but thank you very much for the information about this exciting project and the publication in the last volume of Advances in Agronomy. I forward the information to Augusto Zanella, who is at the head of the Humusica project.
Jean-Francois:
Thank you - we hope to participate at some point soon.

The depth from 0-30 cm is the best thickness or soil depth for wheat because most of the root mass of wheat is exist in the mentioned depth.
I am not sure that wheat is the best candidate, because it is known to root more deeply than that, at least till a metre or more. As an example, read:

OK, it depends on the cultivar, but most of them, even shallow-rooting ones are known to root deeper than 30 cm.
